I’ve got a problem with that statement. This is a game about powering up and using your favorite characters, there is no such thing as “building a poor roster.” Choices can’t be blamed on matchmaking no, but don’t call call it “poor roster building” if someone doesn’t invest in all “the meta” characters or invests in a character others call “useless.”
There indeed is a thing as poor roster building...that's if you care to be more competetive. Otherwise you can enjoy the game any way you want, build whatever you want. But are you really expecting anything to be equal to anything else in the game, how would that work in a game of ever changing metas and power creep?
This game is a game. Games are supposed to be played for fun. If you’re playing this game competitively, you’re not playing it right. That’s my take.
Maybe everyone should just get a zeta every month as a participation ribbon. Fun.
So is any professional sport, but I'm pretty sure they are competitive.
Just because you cannot find the fun in being competitive with others doesnt mean everyone feels that way.
That is because they are made competitive. Lots of people just play with their friends to enjoy themselves. Unless you don’t because you have to make everything competitive.
I enjoy playing golf - I don't enjoy it more when I take 6 to get out of a pot bunker.
I enjoy playing pool - I don't enjoy it more when I miss an easy pot to hand my opponent a win.
I enjoy playing SWGOH - and I enjoy it the most when my guild gets a new record haul in TB, wins a TW, I finish 1st in arena or in a raid, I complete tier 2 of an assault battle etc.
If none of those things matter to you, fair enough, but I wonder why you're bothering to play it at all if that's the case.
I play with my friends a lot. We’ll go out to a field and have a nice game of cricket. If it’s made competitive, then I will play competitively, but if it’s not stated, or isn’t meant to be, I will play for fun.

For something that's just a "G.A.M.E.", you sure do spend a lot of time commenting on the forums
It’s entertaining for me. I have nothing better to do, so I come here and see what people are talking about. There’s not a lot to do for me, so I just see what’s up.

It may not be right for you which is fine by me. Playing competetively is fun for me which is a huge aspect of any type of game, sports, computer games and even children games.
You're tying yourself in knots here, claiming that it's a game so it's not meant to be competitive, then claiming that's not what you're saying, then claiming you can't win at SWGOH.
You should pick one side of this argument and stick to it.

Ok then. I don’t remember saying that I never said this game was supposed to be competitive. I just said it shouldn’t. And seriously, how do you win SWGoH? Get all the characters? Win all your battles? Win GACs? How?
Actually the issue isn't the requirements. Every legendary has always been intentionally designed around characters that only the biggest whales already have maxed out. And balanced so that those characters had to be top gear. The problem is the GL's are the first to require hero's geared up to participate in the event but don't actually use n the event itself. And the event is so simple you could have beat it without all the relics. At no point does either event justify all the resource investment for hero's that won't even be relevant in a year.
If kids are playing a game competitively, it’s not a children’s game anymore, it’s just a game.
So let's circle back to the beginning. You don't like that not everyone thinks your way of playing is best way to do it and you also don't like the way you play you are not able to win thus don't have fun?
So is any professional sport, but I'm pretty sure they are competitive.

Who's getting paid to play? This game isn't a professional sport. In sports you can compete at the level you want. Competitive, recreational or pick up. Typically you participate with people at the same level and looking. There's no option for that here. Of course, like every other thread where someone suggests a way they think the game you get the same 5 or 6 people telling them to stop complaining. That's why we don't get new content, that's why more and more people quit.

From what I’ve interpreted from this it seems you’ve explained why it is indeed the requirements which are the issue.
And seriously, how do you win SWGoH? Get all the characters? Win all your battles? Win GACs? How?
Yes, Yes and Yes. And win TWs, come first in arenas, come first in raids, get a new best haul in TBs.
This is going in circles.
The game is designed to be competitive, like pretty much every game. If you want to play it casually to have fun with friends, crack on. Just don't come on the forums spouting blandishments that everyone else is doing it wrong.

Trust me, when they release GL Babu Frik you will regret it

If this is a grammar problem, if you read the comment I replied to, it would make sense.

It's not a grammar problem, it's a "game should be only what I want" problem.
But games have conditions for success / failure.
I enjoy playing golf - I don't enjoy it more when I take 6 to get out of a pot bunker.
I enjoy playing pool - I don't enjoy it more when I miss an easy pot to hand my opponent a win.

Almost like they're trying to win the forums.
So are you saying that it isn't stated that this game is competitive?

How does one “win” the forums?
Indeed.
How does one win SWGOH?

Thanks - was looking for an "out" from this.

Sorry bro... He beats you by a whole lot unfortunately.

Like I say, pick a side.
Yes, Yes and Yes. And win TWs, come first in arenas, come first in raids, get a new best haul in TBs.
